Surprisingly large and nicely furnished (very recent – WhatPub says extension and full refurb took place in early 2024) JDW in the upper tier of a classic 80s building, located in the upper concourse and originally opened in 1992. Blue and white tiling, nice Art Deco style lamps along with people watching views via the two outside balconies overlooking the station. There are screens to keep you informed of the train arrivals and departures, always a welcome bonus. Three guest cask on my visit with ELB Cowcatcher a bit fag-end (NBSS 2.5) and close to a fiver. Useful to know it exists and if there’s an excuse to pop in for 15 minutes in future, I likely will. Note that the alcohol licence allows retail sale from 8am and that British Transport police sometimes close the bar when football fans are due through the station. 6.5
